The Russian embassy in Tehran dismisses reports Iran supplies weapons to Russia

New Delhi: The Russian embassy in Tehran has dismissed reports of alleged deliveries of Iranian weapons to Russia. “The rumors that have appeared in some media about Iranian weapons supplies to Russia are fake news and have nothing to do with the reality,” the embassy said on its Twitter page on Sunday.

Earlier, a number of British media outlets carried reports of alleged deliveries of weapons, including anti-aircraft missile systems, from Iraq and Iran to Russia for their subsequent use in the special operation in Ukraine. Both Baghdad and Tehran dismissed these reports.

However, it looks weird that Iran supplies weapons to Russia. According to the experts’ view, Russia is very powerful and advanced in the line of defense compared to Iran, and reports of Iran supplying weapons to Russia look weird. It is a different thing that Russia has good relations with Tehran.
